Hello! I'm Ben Sitanggang. I was born on June 6, 1944, and I quickly became an aspiring person. At age 18 I joined the Air Force and piloted the F-4E Phantom II for the 386th Tactical Fighter-Bomber Squadron "Beekeeper". I became the first ace of the Vietnam War and downing over 40 MiG's over the jungles of the country. I was a support bomber as well and saved the lives of many troops on the group with close air support, earning myself the Distinguished Service Medal and the Distinguished Flying Cross. In fact, it turns out that I saved the unit that Cadence's father was in when they were surrounded by the Cong in Lang Bac, opening up a path for them to retreat. I was later transferred to the 194th Tactical Fighter Squadron "Mage". During Operation Desert Storm, I splashed several enemy aircraft in my F-16C Viper, becoming an ace on my second sortie of the operation. Mage was instrumental to the success of the operation. A couple years after Desert Storm, I retired and decided to dabble in politics; I found that I was pretty good at managing people's campaigns, so here I am now.
